X on a Thinkpad

1998-05-29 Thread Erik Eriksson
Hello all

I am trying to install X on a ThinkPad 760EL with a graphic-card 
"Cyber9385/82", chpiset "tgui96xx". When X86Setup attempt to start the 
SVGA-server the screen remain black, after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace I get 
the following message:
"The program is running on a different virtual terminal. Please switch to the 
correct virtual terminal". I would gladely do so if I knew how. Can anyone help 
me?Thanks in advance.

Thank you bjo, for your tip on the tecra boot discs, my ThinkPad did like them. 
I came at least far enough to encounter the above mentioned problem.


Best regards, have a nice  Pentecost //EE

Domain name server

1998-06-11 Thread Erik Eriksson
Hello all,

I have one PC at work with debian installed, where I would like to use ftp (we 
have a fast connection). In the manual it is described how to configure the 
resolv.conf file, i.e you must write the IP address of the domain name server, 
but what if you don't have any?  We reach Internet through a proxy, shall I use 
its IP address instead?. Thanks for help.

Best regards EE.

The search of the lost font

1998-07-07 Thread erik . eriksson
Hello everyone!

I have just made a small installation with Debian 2.0. I download it since
I don´t need all of the exellent software, but I guess I have missed some
packages. When I tried to install X I am droped into xf86config instead of
XF86Setup, at that point I stopped the installation and tried to start
XF86Setup myself, wich results in the following message "Not all of the
standard font files are installed. The file
/usr/X11R6/libs/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir is missing."
It doesn´t seem like a serious problem, but I am unable to find out where
to get these files. Is there anyone who can help me?

By the way, does anyone know if there is any collaboration between XFree
and Intergraph? At work we are going to use PCs with their graphic card
Intense 3D and I thought it could be interesting to install Debian on one
of them.

Best regards

Erik Eriksson

command not found

1998-11-11 Thread erik . eriksson


Hello

I have just installed Debian 2.0, and I have little problem. When I type a
command i. e a.out in my home directory, I get the response bash: command
not found.The file is obviously there, typing ls -F /home/myhome/gcc  gives
a.out*test.c. Can anyone give me a hint?

Boot problem

1998-05-04 Thread Erik Eriksson
Hello 
Three questions:

1. I am trying to install Debian on an IBM ThinkPad 760EL but the machine dont 
want to boot. I use a floppy with resc1440.bin, at the boot prompt I type 
"linux floppy=thinkpad" with no results. I have read the instructions about 
boot parameters to use and ThinkPad is mentioned there, but I guess I dont type 
it right. 

2. I wonder if anyone has heard about running Pro/E under linux. The reason is 
we want to buy cheap and fast hardware (meaning with Windows NT) but keep our 
archives in UNIX  if it possible to use it, Linux seems to be an interesting 
alternative.

3. Can you recommend any SQL based freeware for Linux, we would like to do some 
tests.

Best regards EE.

Mouse modules

1998-05-11 Thread Erik Eriksson
Hello
I am trying to install a PS/2 Mouse driver on a ThinkPad 760EL where the mouse 
is installed that way (at least Windows says so), but modconf answer me that 
psaux don't have any module parameters, and depends on misc.o. Where can I find 
that file??

Best regards EE
